(48 x 32cm.) Whilst obsolete ships, when no longer seaworthy, were often renamed and put to other use, the renaming of both Wellesley (launched as Boscawen in 1844 and renamed Wellesley in 1874) and Cornwall (launched 1830, exchanged names with Wellesley in 1868 but became Wellesley (II) in 1874) remain a particularly confusing example. Sufficient to say however, both vessels ended up on the Tyne from 1868, Cornwall as a training ship and Wellesley as an associated hulk. Time-stained and modest foxing, needs to be cleaned

    Charles Dixon (1872-1934), Admiral Beatty’s Flagship HMS Lion leading the Battlecruiser Fleet into action at the Battle of Jutland 31st May, 1916, with a Dreadnought battleship behind, signed and dated, oil on canvas, 72 cm x 97 cm, in a later giltwood frame, frame 84.5 cm x 110 cm HMS Lion was the flagship of the British Battlecruiser Fleet during the battle of Jutland, under the command of Vice-Admiral David Beatty. The Fleet was the first to sight Admiral Franz von Hipper's battlecruisers and opened fire. Two British battlecruisers in the Fleet sank in the first hour of the battle and HMS Lion was severely damaged. One of the ship's turrets was hit by enemy fire, and had it not been for the quick wits of Major Francis Harvey of the Royal Marines the ship would inevitably suffer the same fate. Fatally wounded, Major Harvey ordered the flooding of the turret's magazine to prevent further explosions. For his actions, he was awarded posthumously the Victoria Cross. HMS Lion returned to port after the battle needing repairs that took several months. She had suffered 99 dead and 51 wounded during the battle, the highest number in the Fleet for a surviving vessel. Private Collection Overpainted areas to the top and bottom, where there are signs of previous framing. Overpainting evident to the smoke trail above the Dreadnought and signs of a repair in the same area among the fire plumes. Signs of later overpainting to the smaller vessel in the foreground far right. Reverse of canvas in good condition with the stretchers recently tightened with nylon wire. Recently reframed by John Jones and glazed with UV reflecting and low reflective acrylic.

    Chromolith., wove paper 106 x 68 cm, signed in the pl. - Showing the tugboat Josephine and the transatlantic ocean liner Pennland with white cliffs in the background. "SS Pittsburgh was a transatlantic ocean liner. It was built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the American Line. Initial construction began in 1913, but was delayed by World War I. The ship was completed in 1920, and made its first voyage in 1922 for the White Star Line. In 1925, under the name of Pennland, it commenced operations for the Red Star Line. The ship was refitted as a troopship for the Allies in World War II. The ship was bombed on April 25, 1941 in the Gulf of Athens and sank". Ch. E. Dixon (1872-1934) was a highly successful British maritime painter; he regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy.

    Charles Edward Dixon, RI,  - On the Thames;  …

    Est: £800 - £1,200

    Charles Edward Dixon, RI,  British 1872-1934-  On the Thames;  watercolour heightened with white on paper, signed and dated 'Charles Dixon / 1891.' (lower right), 24.7 x 52.5 cm.  Provenance:  with Haynes Fine Art of Broadway, Worcestershire, no.8275.  Private Collection, UK.  Note:  Charles Edward Dixon was the son of the genre painter Alfred Dixon (1842-1919). He worked principally as a marine artist, with many of his works now held in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, and also produced a number of illustrations for publications which included the Illustrated London News, the Graphic, and the Sphere. The present work effectively conveys the traffic and bustle of the River Thames towards the end of the 19th century, when it was still central to the transportation of goods across London and further afield.
